Set Preferences for CA InterTest

You can set the default startup preferences for an active CA InterTest™ server.

Follow these steps:

1. Select Window, Preferences.
   The Preferences dialog opens the CA InterTest™ page.

2. Change the default settings for the following fields to suit your needs:

   • Server Response Timeout
     Specifies the time in milli-seconds that CA InterTest™ waits for a response from the CA InterTest™ server. Zero means that there is no timeout and waiting is indefinite.
     Default: 0

   • Maximum PROTSYM List
     Specifies the maximum number of data set names that can be stored in a PROTSYM list.
     Default: 30

   • Clear PROTSYM MRU List
     Clears the most recently used PROTSYM list.
     Default: Off

   • Memory Dump Size
     Specifies the maximum number of variables or items that can be stored or displayed using the Memory Dump dialog.
     Default: 1024
     Limits: 24-8192

   • Enable Event Logging
     Initiates the recording of debugging events and highlights the Error Log view automatically when new events are logged.
     Default: On

   • Use 8-byte Address Size in Memory dump
     Controls the display for the Go To button in the Memory Dump dialog. You can choose to set the display either in 4-byte or 8-byte addressing.
     Default: On

   • Reset Saved Dialog Sizes
     CA InterTest™ saves the last size and location of all pop-up dialogs. Check this to reset the sizes of all dialogs to their default size. This is not a definite setting as the value of this check box is not saved but the sizes are reset when you click Finish.
     Default: Off -- Always

   • Server Connection Timeout
     Specifies the time in milli-seconds that CA InterTest™ attempts a server connection before displaying a Not Available status in the Servers view.
     Default: 2000

   • Expression Data Length
     Specifies the number of hex characters (i.e., bytes) displayed in an expression which is posted in the Watch Data or Session Data view.
     Default: 20
     Limits: 24-99

   • Exit without prompt

3. Click Apply to save the settings.

4. Click OK to close the Preferences dialog.

CA InterTest™ saves the changes and closes the Preferences dialog. The changes are used in all succeeding sessions unless you change the preferences again.
